Of <br />��" <br />W cite that wrrks kr yxr <br />Memo <br />Date: May 28, 2009 <br />To: Dean Lotter, City Manager <br />From: Grant Fernelius, Community Development Director <br />Janice Gundlach, City Plannerj% <br />Subject: June 2nd Work Session Discussion on Land Use and <br />Zoning Matters <br />Introduction <br />In preparation for next Tuesday's work session discussion, staff has prepared the <br />following memo. The Council policy docket listed the potential topics as "site <br />surveys, site engineering, no neighborhood meetings and escrow requirements." <br />In general, we believe some of these issues have been discussed in the recent <br />past or will be evaluated as part of potential Zoning Code/procedural <br />amendments in the coming months. <br />We thought it might be helpful to review what has been discussed with the <br />Planning Commission. In addition, it will be helpful to understand the Council's <br />priorities with regard to these policy issues, since considerable staff will be <br />required to process possible changes. We also want to communicate these <br />priorities to the Planning Commission because of its role in recommending <br />changes to Zoning Code. <br />Background <br />There has been a lot of discussion over the last 6 months about updating the <br />City's Zoning Code. In February, the Planning Commission prepared a list of <br />potential list of code amendments. We also shared the list with the City Council <br />in the February 20th Friday Memo. The Commission has since started to work <br />through some of these topics. Additionally, topics beyond this list have been <br />brought to staffs attention. <br />0 <br />
